Title: Demon's Determination
Author: -The-Talon- AKA ELPHPIRATE
Alright, so here's the regular disclaimers. I don't own Hellboy or any of the characters from the comic. This is my first attempt at writing Hellboy, so be nice to me.
I wrote this because I always wondered what Abe's beginning at the BPRD was like. Poor Mr. Sapien has had a really jacked up life. If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, please don't be shy, I'd be glad to hear them.
Demon's Determination
Chapter One
Outside the large metal doors he waited rather impatiently. Not appreciating being locked out or kept in the dark about anything, he passed back and forth, up and down the long hall, past numerous lighted cases housing priceless amounts of occult artifacts.
None held his interest.
Absentmindedly, his tail swung in an agitated fashion, like a cat about to pounce. Hellboy sighed.
'What could Father be hiding in there?' He thought.
Already he had tried to get into the lab, but was met at the door by three very serious, very angry scientists. Normally Hellboy would have had no problem physically removing anyone standing in his way. But recent events involving him breaking a very expensive, high-tech computer, had put him out of Prof. Broom's good graces. In order to win back Father's approval (and hopefully some of his prized comic books) Hellboy was trying to play by the rules.
Suddenly one of the doors swung open, producing Professor Broom, Hellboy's adoptive father. Hellboy rolled his eyes when Father closed the door before he could get a good look at what might be on the other side.
"Hello my boy! Out for a morning stroll?" Prof. Broom greeted cheerfully. Contrary to his questioning tone, Father did not seeming at all surprised to find his son snooping around outside the lab.
Hellboy wasn't fooled by the professor's attempt to redirect his attention.
"I wanna see it." He demanded. "Whatever the hell it is your hiding, I wanna see it." His deep, rumbling voice would have intimidated almost anyone, but Broom just shrugged his shoulders.
"Really son, this nonsense again?" Broom sighed. "We've already been through this. It's the same answer it's been for the last three weeks. NO, you're not going in there. It's simply scientists doing their research, and as your studies have shown, you have very little interest in lab work."
Broom stepped around Hellboy, proceeding down the long, low lit hall, hindered only by the limp in his war scarred leg.
Hellboy growled in annoyance , but held his temper in check.
"How 'bout ya let me be the judge of whether or not I find it interesting?"
OOPS! Hellboy sometimes hated the way thing came out of his mouth without first going through some kind of stay-out-of-trouble filter. That was just a little more sarcastic sounding out loud than it had been in his head.
Father stopped mid step, the end of his cane not even touching the ground yet. Turning his head slightly so he could see Hellboy from the corner of his eye.
"Oh crap!" Hellboy mentally kicked himself. He could always tell when he had gone too far with Father, when he had used what Father called "a tone." Suddenly, his tail seemed very interesting under Father's stern gaze.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity to Hellboy, Broom chuckled.
"I believe it's time for breakfast. Would you be so kind as to accompany an old man?"
Much to Hellboy's dismay, his stomach was more demanding than his curiosity about the mysterious lab.
"Sure." Although Hellboy had given up this time, he mentally swore that he would see what was on the other side of those doors tonight.
Alright ya'll, like I said, this is my first attempt at writting Hellboy. Anyone care to guess what's in the lab? Reviews would be just ducky!
